Ascensus Joins America Saves Week 2016

DRESHER, Pa. - Feb. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Ascensus—the nation’s largest independent retirement plan and college savings services provider—has joined as a participating organization in America Saves Week, an annual weeklong initiative aimed at promoting better savings habits among Americans.

Coordinated by America Saves and the America Savings Education Council, this year’s campaign begins Monday, February 22, and extends through Saturday, February 27. Founded in 2007, America Saves Week reaches millions of people throughout the country each year and works to provide actionable advice and savings strategies.

This year’s theme, “Make Savings Automatic,” aligns well with Ascensus’ key product offerings, including 401(k) retirement plans, IRAs, health savings accounts, and 529 college savings plans. Through these savings vehicles, account holders are encouraged to set an automated savings rate or direct deposit amount to achieve a secure future.

Ascensus’ core capabilities are focused within the most significant savings challenges currently facing Americans, and the company’s associates remain dedicated to making it easier for individuals to reach their savings goals. As an America Saves Week participant, Ascensus will share savings tips throughout the week on Twitter (@AscensusInc) using the campaign’s official hashtag.

“At Ascensus, our team of over 1,500 associates works hard every day to help over 6 million Americans save for the future,” said Bob Guillocheau, president and CEO of Ascensus. “This America Saves Week, we celebrate our clients who choose to provide individuals with smart savings vehicles, our network of financial professionals who encourage positive savings behaviors, and our dedicated associates. We will continue to work and innovate to ensure that our clients always have a plan for retirement, healthcare, and college savings.”
